  1. I had stocked up two Thursday’s ago and I went in this morning for bread and meats and the store was completely sold out of each.
  2. Aren’t these employees technically being fired? I’ve never heard of PTO being paid to laid-off workers. I would also imagine there are numerous unemployment restrictions guiding their actions.
  3. What does Terry have to do with other events held at HSBC? I didn’t think that he owned the building.
  4. I did too, exact symptoms as above for length of time. More than half my office of 150 people missed time at some point with it.
  5. This is the exact reason why escrow exists, right?
  6. It was merged into one of his other posts but it was moderated
  7. You’re saying they’re not one of the same? That’s not what my Uber driver told me
  8. I watched a documentary last night called Outbreak and I really think we should be a little concerned about our government.
  9. @Neo I would imagine if Mrs. Neo works for a public school that the janitors are employed by the city and will still be paid.
  10. Salaried versus hourly. Those people aren’t working. I see no reason to pay them. This is exactly why the hysteria is bad.
  11. Why aren’t you jumping in any of them? Gravity too strong in Cuba? @Wyldnwoody44
  12. A seven team lottery would be cool.
  13. Yes, and there’s plenty of research showing it has detrimental impacts on development. Some homework is fine, sure. But state mandated independent or online learning for a 7 year old is pretty outlandish to me. Most certainly not in its current form. Our education system and processes are a joke. I encourage everyone to read Leaving to Learn, as well as Creative Schools. If anyone wants something heavier, Market Education by Andrew Coulson goes into a little bit, as does Free to Choose by Milton Friedman. Coulson also has a documentary called School, Inc.
  14. If I had a grade school age child and they were being asked to do schoolwork from home I would immediately refuse. There’s murmurs about running the school year through the summer; which I would also refuse.
  15. All public students yesterday were supposed to be sent home yesterday with a letter informing their parents to make arrangements for child care. I think you’re probably right.
  16. The measures that would be necessary to have an Italian style shutdown would likely require suspending Habeas Corpus. The same people who would be in favor of restrictions would flip a ***** if Martial Law were invoked. Which is my issue. People want measures put in place similar to Europe but don’t realize the consequences of those under our constitution.
  17. @Eleven I’m hoping you can give me your opinion on a question regarding constitutionality of travel bans under the Privileges and Immunities clause. Constitutionally speaking, individual states are allowed to invoke travel bans for reasons of public health and safety. However, my question is if the government were to attempt to implement a travel ban restricting interstate travel, there is no way that could be held up in court right? My understanding is this would require either an amendment or Martial Law. For those not as versed in the constitution, the relevant portion of Article 1, Section 9 reads “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.” I couldn’t find too much on the meaning of Invasion the public Safety, but looking through historical cases on Martial Law, it looks like this would apply to this instance. Any insight you could provide would be much appreciated. I’m not concerned about the prospect of Martial Law, but I spoke with many people at work today who did not know of their right to the freedom of movement and was hoping to be able to better understand if it is something that may actually become restricted.
  18. I was also going to recommend index/mutual funds through vanguard as well. It’s always easier to bet on the market than bet on individual companies.
  19. Pretty sure we set the record for most 20 goal scorers and most 10+ goal scorers. ***
  20. If we had free market healthcare you would be able to get the drug (and see how much it would cost you at different facilities). We have nothing close to a free market system in place. What we have is cronyism between insurance providers, health care administrators, and politicians.
  21. More than anything I am asking for clarification—I believe I read that those with a compromised immune system do not benefit from wearing masks and that masks only help anything if you are infected. Can anyone confirm or deny?
  22. I think the bottom six should look something like this: MoJo-Cozens-Kahun Lazar-Asplund-Okposo its up to whomever the gm is to fill 2C and 2RW. It’ll be the difference between playoffs and frustration once again.
  23. Yeah I saw that. It was an awkward chuckle but I chuckled nonetheless. He probably feels like the worlds largest jackass now.
  24. Yeah I was thinking something along these lines. If you have a chance to qualify you get to play catch up but everything else is cancelled.
  25. To me this doesn’t sound positive. I bet they want to have a plan in place for the playoffs and rest of the season before cancelling. Or maybe inform teams last game will be X date.
